Its hard to talk to you on Biblical issues because I feel you are only here to poke holes in our beliefs. Normally I don't feed the trolls, but since hell is a place you will be so familiar with over eternity, I though you should understand the consequences of being wrong in your beliefs (or lack of them). Hell is a lake of fire, with no shores, no islands, no way out. Those who go there (fallen angels, too), will burn for eternity, the torment never stops, it never goes away, you will never get used to it. I know this is just so much entertainment for you, now. But death will come for you one day. And you will have to deal with what is on the other side. By that time, your choices will have been made-it'll be too late. If I am wrong I loose nothing. If you are wrong...well, I told you so.

1. Hell wouldn't be a \"lake\" of fire if it had \"no shores, no islands\" it would be an ocean. A lake is a small body of water surrounded by land.2. I would much rather burn for eternity than have to spend five minutes with MrMann.

And this is supposed to make me want to worship the asshole who would otherwise be sending me to eternal torment, let alone consider him good, just, or merciful (all three of which are immediately refuted by the mere existence of hell)?

1000-JAN-1: Many Christians in Europe had predicted the end of the world on this date. As the date approached, Christian armies waged war against some of the Pagan countries in Northern Europe. The motivation was to convert them all to Christianity, by force if necessary, before Christ returned in the year 1000. Meanwhile, some Christians had given their possessions to the Church in anticipation of the end. Fortunately, the level of education was so low that many citizens were unaware of the year. They did not know enough to be afraid. Otherwise, the panic might have been far worse than it was. Unfortunately, when Jesus did not appear, the church did not return the gifts. Serious criticism of the Church followed. The Church reacted by exterminating some heretics. Agitation settled down quickly.

How do they know this? Have they been vouchsafed halluci... sorry, visions? Have they actually been there? Because I don't remember all this detail in the babble. (Then again, I haven't read it for a very loooong time.) It's not even particularly good fiction.

Do you idiots still think we don't know what the CONCEPT of Hell is? Stop explaining it, we KNOW.

MrMann's like Chick Tracts, continually rehashing the most known parts of the Bible as if it's not part of secular knowledge or that the verses have some special power unto themselves, like magic spells.

Pascal's wager. What a joke. One of its many weaknesses is that it doesn't tell you which religion is the right one. With Pascal's wager your odds of going to hell are almost as good as the average atheist's.
